This week the Large Hadron Collider experiment at CERN in Geneva has been turned on again. It has been upgraded to work at even higher energies. This book is an explanation of its famous discovery of 3 years ago – the Higgs Boson. If you ever wondered what the fuss was about, you could try this book. It’s accessible in places and might sound like Double Dutch in other parts. I’ve been reading it to Mrs B, who is not a physicist, at a page a day! I can tell she’s been listening when she shouts “that’s impossible!” at me. The book is like that!
